CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 
PURE    METAPHYSICS 

THE  term  metaphysics,  derived  from  two 
Greek  words,  meta,  meaning  over,  above, 
or  beyond,  and  physicus,  meaning  physical,  sig- 
nifies over,  beyond,  or  above  the  physical.  In 
true  metaphysics,  or  absolute  Christian  Science, 
all  is  Mind;  there  is  nothing  physical  or  ma- 
terial, there  is  no  matter.  The  so-called  science 
of  physics  has  no  part  with  true  Science  or 
metaphysics.  Beginning  with  matter,  all  is 
matter;  there  is  no  mind.  Beginning  with 
Mind,  all  is  Mind ;  there  is  no  matter. 

There  is  nothing  real  that  Mind  does  not 
evolve,  govern,  and  control ;  Mind  is  Spirit,  and 
everything  that  Spirit  creates  is  like  itself,  spir- 
itual and  not  material.  To  Spirit  there  is  no 
matter,  all  is  Spirit.  The  finite,  limited,  or  ma- 
terial sense  would  have  all  things  material, 
would  have  life,  substance,  and  intelligence  in 
objects;  but  the  spiritual  or  unlimited  sense, 
the  scientific  understanding,  reveals  the  spirit-

ual  to  be  the  real  and  the  material  the  unreal. 
The  so-called  material  universe  is  not  the  true 
idea. 

Wipe  out  or  eliminate  all  that  can  be  called  a 
material  universe  or  a  material  man,  and  the 
true  man,  the  true  expression  of  God,  still  re- 
mains, and  will  forever  remain,  no  more  subject 
to  change  or  annihilation  than  is  God,  the  in- 
finite Principle,  in  whom  man  lives,  upon  whom 
he  depends,  and  whom  he  represents.  To  find 
man,  the  true  man,  is  not  to  study  the  physical 
man  so  called,  but  to  study  the  reflection  of  God. 
By  so  doing  we  grow  into  the  consciousness 
or  realization  of  our  relation  to  God  and  attain 
the  divine  atonement  or  at-one-ment  with  the 
Father;  and  this  means  having  no  other  Life, 
no  other  intelligence,  but  God,  the  divine  Prin- 
ciple. 

TRUE   QUALITIES   ARE   PERMANENT 

Nothing  that  God  has  made  can  ever  be  lost. 
The  spire  of  grass  that  carpets  the  green 
meadow;  the  cactus  eking  out  a  life  on  the 
parched  and  sandy  desert;  the  lichen  on  the 
highest  rock  that  decks  the  lofty  mountain,  or 
seaweed  in  the  deepest  depths  of  yonder  rolling 
ocean;  the  flower  that  blossoms  in  the  vale,  or 


PURE   METAPHYSICS  5 

waves  upon  the  summit  of  some  monarch  of  the 
wood ;  the  tree  that  grows  in  sheltered  nook  or 
deeper,  denser  forest;  the  insect  that  flits,  the 
worm  that  crawls,  or  the  serpent  with  his  cun- 
ning ;  the  bird  that  warbles  in  the  grove  or  soars 
in  ether  blue;  the  fish  that  swims  in  brook  or 
rill,  or  broader,  deeper  water;  the  beast  that 
roams  the  prairies  free  or  crouches  in  the  jun- 
gle; the  constellation  or  a  star  in  all  that  vast 
infinity;  and  man,  the  consummation  and  com- 
bination of  all  God's  handiwork, — all,  in  their 
true  spiritual  being,  have  their  place  in  the  in- 
finite Mind. 

Anything  less  than  an  infinite  expression 
would  make  God  less  than  infinite  in  entity. 
God,  the  infinite  intelligence,  will  never  lose 
sight  of  aught  that  He  has  made,  and  all  He  has 
made  is  good.  By  studying  the  true  Principle 
we  will  be  able  to  find  the  true  solution  of  each 
and  every  problem ;  and  each  object  of  creation, 
in  its  true  character,  will  be  found  harmonious, 
pure,  and  perfect.  Isaiah's  prophecy  of  Christ's 
kingdom  among  other  things  says,  "The  wolf 
also  shall  dwell  with  the  lamb,  .  .  .  and  a  little 
child  shall  lead  them."  Already  we  begin  to 
find  that  against  innocence  and  fearlessness  the 
fangs  of  the  serpent  are  never  raised,  for  Jesus 


6  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

said  of  those  who  believe,  "They  shall  take  up 
serpents ;  and  if  they  drink  any  deadly  thing,  it 
shall  not  hurt  them." 

SPIRIT   THE   ONLY  BASIS 

Beginning  with  matter,  we  have  no  founda- 
tion. Matter  cannot  see,  hear,  speak,  or  have 
sensation.  Matter  cannot  originate  Mind  or 
dwell  in  Mind,  for  it  is  the  opposite  of  Mind. 
Non-intelligence  cannot  become  intelligent. 
Christian  Science  comes  separating  the  gold 
from  the  dross,  the  wheat  from  the  chaff.  It 
comes  separating  Mind  from  matter,  the  Spirit 
from  the  flesh,  immortality  from  mortality,  the 
true  from  the  false,  the  right  from  the  wrong, 
that  which  is  from  that  which  is  not. 

Spirit  is  God,  the  one  only  good,  who  is  Life, 
Truth,  Love,  intelligence,  Soul,  substance. 
Spirit  is  also  infinite,  eternal,  omniscient,  om- 
nipotent, and  omnipresent.  You  cannot  get 
over,  around,  or  under  Spirit,  for  "in  him  we 
live,  and  move,  and  have  our  being/'  It  is  God 
who  formed  the  great  law,  who  framed,  con- 
trols, and  governs  the  spiritual  universe.  Ex- 
isting in  boundless  space,  yet  also  here  with  us, 
expressed  in  your  consciousness,  and  also  here 
in  mine,  the  "still  small  voice"  of  Spirit  forever 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  7 

comes  to  us  in  thought.  It  is  the  "pure  river  of 
water  of  life,"  clear  as  the  fountain  is,  unsullied 
in  the  stream,  "taking  no  taint  from  touch  of 
human  lips,  at  best  impure." 

Spirit  never  mingles  with  matter.  As  we 
cease  to  depend  upon  matter  and  learn  to  de- 
pend upon  Spirit,  we  become  more  and  more 
harmonious.  What  a  never  failing  fount  of 
strength  is  this  compared  with  a  belief  of 
strength  in  a  muscle!  What  an  inexhaustible 
storehouse  of  wisdom  and  intelligence,  com- 
pared with  a  dependence  upon  a  material  brain, 
which,  forsooth,  may  be  too  large,  too  small,  or 
of  too  poor  material!  What  an  all-supporting 
and  sustaining  Principle  upon  which  to  lean  for 
life  and  health,  compared  with  a  dependence 
upon  liver,  lungs,  stomach,  blood,  air,  exercise, 
material  drugs,  or  material  food ! 

LIFE   IS    SELF-EXISTENT 

Life  is  self-existent  Principle;  self-existent 
because  it  could  not  be  made  or  evolved ;  for  it 
would  ever  require  Life  to  make  life.  That 
which  could  make  life  must  itself  have  life,  and 
of  necessity  must  itself  ultimately  be  Life. 
Hence  we  must  conclude  that  Life  is  self-exist- 
ent ;  and  that  which  has  its  existence  within  it- 


8  CHRISTIAN   SCIENCE: 

self  can  never  be  slain.  This  is  the  Life  that  is 
God,  and  there  is  no  other.  The  so-called  phys- 
ical life  is  but  a  belief  of  life  in  the  body,  where 
there  is  no  life. 

On  this  same  basis  we  have  to  conclude  that 
Truth  and  Love  are  self-existent ;  but  when  we 
speak  of  Truth  we  mean  immutable  Truth ;  and 
when  we  speak  of  Love,  we  do  not  refer  to  the 
personal  selfish  affections  that  depend  upon 
feelings,  but  the  Love  that  is  God.  Life,  Truth, 
and  Love  constitute  the  primal  triune  Deity,  the 
three-in-one  Principle,  the  Spirit  that  is  God. 

Christian  Science  is  not  speculative  or  con- 
jectural, neither  is  its  Principle  hypothetical. 
Truth,  God,  must  of  necessity  be,  and  be  primal. 
A  negation  could  not  be  primal,  for  if  a  nega- 
tion were  primal  there  would  be  no  way  by 
which  to  prove  that  it  were  a  negation.  Two 
things  opposed  to  each  other  cannot  both  be 
true.  Since  the  negative,  or  error,  could  not  be, 
and  be  primal,  hence  its  opposite,  the  positive, 
or  Truth,  must  be,  and  be  primal ;  and  from  the 
primal  all  things  must  proceed.  And  since 
Truth  cannot  express  itself  in  error,  therefore 
there  can  be  no  error. 

Truth  cannot  result  in  error;  the  positive 
cannot  result  in  the  negative.    Love  cannot  re- 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  9 

suit  in  hate;  Life  cannot  result  in  death.  If 
Life  could  result  in  death,  then  death  would  be 
the  victor  and  Life  the  vanquished ;  then  all 
would  be  death,  and  there  would  be  no  Life.  If 
Truth  could  result  in  error,  then  error  would  be 
the  victor  and  Truth  the  vanquished;  then  all 
would  be  error,  and  there  would  be  no  Truth. 
But  these  are  things  impossible. 

By  virtue  of  the  fact  that  the  positive  is,  the 
negative  cannot  be.  The  positive  is  the  real,  the 
negative  the  unreal.  Truth  is  the  real,  error 
the  unreal.  Love  is  the  real,  hate  the  unreal. 
Life  is  the  real,  death  the  unreal.  Harmony  is 
the  real,  discord  the  unreal.  Spirit  is  the  real, 
and  flesh  the  unreal.  'Tor  the  flesh  lusteth 
against  the  Spirit,  and  the  Spirit  against  the 
flesh:  and  these  are  contrary  the  one  to  the 
other."  One  is,  and  the  other  is  not,  but  to 
finite  sense  it  seems  to  be. 

Did  God,  then,  make  the  mortal  to  war 
against  the  spiritual?  All  He  made  was  good, 
and  must  therefore  be  harmonious.  God  never 
made  mortality;  He  could  not,  for  there  is  no 
mortality  in  Him,  and  all  we  really  have  and 
are  comes  from  Him.  Mortality  is  a  myth ;  it  is 
the  delusion  of  the  senses,  the  negative  of  im- 
mortality.   "The  carnal  mind  is  enmity  against 


10  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

God."  The  carnal  mind  is  the  mortal  mind,  the 
negative  mind,  or  beliefs  that  rest  upon  appear- 
ances. We  appear  to  have  sensation  in  a  nerve 
and  strength  in  a  muscle,  to  have  life  in  the 
body  and  intelligence  in  the  brain,  but  Science 
proves  that  appearance  to  be  false. 

ETERNITY   IS   NOW 

Finite  sense  made  time,  God  made  eternity. 
According  to  Christian  Science  we  are  in  eter- 
nity now ;  there  is  no  time.  When  we  begin  to 
realize  the  idea  of  eternity,  we  begin  to  lose  the 
sense  of  time.  The  angel  of  Truth,  that  John 
saw,  is  standing  today  with  one  foot  upon  the 
sea  and  the  other  upon  the  land,  proclaiming 
with  a  loud  voice  that  time  shall  be  no  more. 
Heaven,  harmony,  is  inevitable ;  it  is  the  primal 
and  ultimate  fact  of  being.  It  is  the  ever  pres- 
ent reality  of  being ;  and  its  opposite,  hell,  is  not 
a  reality,  either  past,  present,  or  future.  Let 
your  heaven  be  renewed  each  day,  each  hour, 
and  the  so-called  future  will  take  care  of  itself. 

Heaven,  as  Mrs.  Eddy  has  said,  is  "the  reign 
of  harmony"  (Science  and  Health,  p.  590)  ;  and 
there  is  no  fear  in  harmony.  Harmony  is 
heaven,  fear  is  torment;  and  the  fear  that  is 
torment  will  never  lead  you  into  the  harmony 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  11 

that  is  heaven.  The  harmony  that  is  heaven 
will  never  be  fully  realized  while  the  fear  of 
hell  remains.  Perfect  Love  gives  perfect  con- 
fidence ;  hence  Love  brings  harmony.  "There  is 
no  fear  in  love;  but  perfect  love  casteth  out 
fear;"  i.e.,  perfect  Love  will  not  admit  of  fear. 
"Ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and  the  truth  shall 
make  you  free."  Truth  is  infinite;  the  infinity 
of  Truth  is  expressed  in  all  that  really  is ;  hence 
the  desire  of  each  and  all  to  know,  to  compre- 
hend and  realize  the  truth  expressed  in  every- 
thing. There  is  no  rest  in  idleness ;  there  is  no 
happiness  outside  of  progression.  We  will 
never  find  the  downhill  until  we  learn  to  love 
the  uphill,  and  then  it  will  be  downhill  all  the 
way.  To  reach  each  day,  each  hour,  a  new,  a 
mightier,  and  a  sublimer  consciousness  of 
Truth,  that  brings  light  and  liberty  and  har- 
mony to  our  benighted  vision,  is  heaven  all  the 
time.  In  Truth  we  have  absolute  liberty,  but  in 
error  we  find  nothing  but  obstruction  and  dis- 
appointment. 

GAINING  FREEDOM 

As  a  man  gains  more  freedom  in  Science  he 
will  be  more  and  more  liberated  from  the  bond- 
age of  sense.    As  he  grows  more  and  more  out 


12  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

of  the  limited  he  will  gain  more  and  more  the 
unlimited.  As  a  man  loses  his  fear  he  will  gain 
his  freedom.  If  you  are  fearing  anything,  you 
are  in  torment  in  the  proportion  that  that  fear 
has  possession  of  you.  If  you  are  fearing  sick- 
ness, you  are  in  bondage  to  that  fear ;  if  you  are 
fearing  error,  then  you  are  a  slave  to  error.  If 
you  are  fearing  the  devil,  just  turn  around  and 
face  him,  instead  of  running  from  him,  and  see 
him  vanish  like  the  mist,  leaving  in  its  stead  the 
radiant  beams  of  Truth.  Every  fear  is  a  de- 
mon, and  for  every  demon  that  you  cast  out  an 
angel  will  take  its  place.  And  if  you  are  fear- 
ing hell,  take  the  torchlight  of  Truth  and  Love 
and  explore  that  reputed  region  from  top  to 
bottom,  from  center  to  circumference.  By  so 
doing  you  will  turn  that  dreadful  hell  to  heaven 
and  make  it  a  paradise  complete.  "If  I  make 
my  bed  in  hell,  behold,  thou  art  there;"  and 
where  God  is,  there  is  heaven. 

If  you  are  honestly  searching  for  Truth,  you 
can  never  go  astray ;  for  you  will  either  find  the 
truth  of  the  true  or  the  untruth  of  the  false. 
The  truth  you'll  accept  because  it  is  true;  the 
false  you'll  reject  because  it  is  false.  What  we 
want  is  freedom  to  find  the  truth,  to  let  our 
thoughts  have  wings,  to  traverse  the  realms 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  13 

that  be,  and  walk  with  the  great  I  AM.  Then  on 
pinions  of  love  and  light  we  rise,  and  reach  the 
heights  supernal,  and  drink  of  the  benisons 
sweet  that  flow  in  the  unsullied  river  of  Life, 
and  take  of  the  leaves  of  that  beautiful  tree  that 
on  this  and  on  that  side  is  growing.  There  a 
balm  will  be  found  our  diseases  to  heal,  and  the 
fruit  will  be  life  eternal. 

Error  may  seem  to  suppress  Truth,  but  it 
cannot.  Truth  is  impregnable.  Nothing  can 
scale  its  lofty  walls  or  enter  its  sacred  pre- 
cincts, except  in  the  way  that  Truth  itself  shall 
lead,  and  Love  must  be  the  prompter.  All  who 
enter  here  must  take  their  shoes  from  off  their 
feet,  must  divest  themselves  of  material  or  mor- 
tal sense;  for  this  is  holy  ground.  Science  ad- 
mits of  no  personal  opinion ;  it  is  founded  upon 
the  rock  of  self-evident  demonstrable  truth,  and 
can  never  be  shaken.  There  are  no  beliefs  in 
Science.  Belief  implies  doubt;  and  all  beliefs 
vanish  when  understanding  appears.  "With  all 
thy  getting  get  understanding." 

MRS.    EDDY'S   DISCOVERY 

Columbus  believed  there  was  a  land  beyond 
the  sea;  he  searched,  he  found;  he  no  longer 
merely  believed,   he  knew.     Newton   believed 


14  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

there  was  a  law  that  governed  the  phenomenon 
of  the  falling  apple.  Galileo  believed  there  was 
an  established  principle  controlling  the  stellar 
universe.  Mrs.  Eddy  believed  there  was  a  sci- 
entific law  underlying  and  controlling  the 
health  of  man.  She  searched,  she  found,  she 
demonstrated;  she  no  longer  simply  believed, 
she  knew. 

Our  Leader's  knowledge  reached  beyond  the 
testimony  of  the  senses.  To  her  thought,  physi- 
cal seeing  was  not  scientific  knowing.  No  high 
grade  of  finite  belief  entered  into  her  scientific 
understanding  of  the  Science  of  all  things.  She 
left  no  mere  personal  opinion,  to  be  changed  to 
higher  thoughts  by  those  who  in  the  ages  to 
come  should  write  of  things  immortal.  Her  dis- 
covery of  the  Science  of  Life  lifted  her  above 
the  poet's  dream  of  time  and  space  and  things 
that  are  superior  but  not  supreme.  Her  basic 
Principle  for  the  Christly  Science  was  unchang- 
ing Truth,  undying  Life,  and  unselfish  Love,  the 
ultimatum  and  substantiation  of  all  things — 
yea,  the  divine  omnipotence,  omniscience,  and 
omnipresence. 

Yet  while  Mrs.  Eddy's  standard  for  Chris- 
tian Science  was  perfection  itself,  she  rejoiced 
to  know  that  the  all-embracing  law  of  Love  lifts 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  15 

poor  mortals  from  their  low  estate  to  the  higher 
thought  of  God.  It  was  my  great  privilege  to 
have  her  teaching  both  in  primary  and  normal 
class  instruction,  and  afterward  in  her  own 
home  as  well.  I  learned  to  love  her  because  she 
had  the  love  that  lifted  me  out  of  the  physical 
and  material  into  the  metaphysical  and  spirit- 
ual. Hers  was  like  the  love  which  enabled  the 
great  Exemplar  to  reach  from  the  pinnacle  of 
perfection  to  lift  the  Magdalen  thought  to  be- 
hold the  risen  Lord.  Hers  was  a  noble  nature, 
brave  yet  gentle,  generous  and  kind.  When  you 
saw  her,  she  had  won  you ;  when  you  knew  her, 
you  had  loved  her. 

SCIENCE   AND   THE   BIBLE 

The  Science  of  being  does  not  contradict  the 
Bible;  it  substantiates  the  Bible.  But  it  may 
contradict  some  person's  beliefs  about  the  Bible. 
Truth  will  destroy  all  error,  will  vanquish  every 
foe.  Truth  is  first,  and  can  result  in  nothing 
but  harmony.  Sin,  sickness,  sorrow,  pain,  and 
death  are  discords,  of  which  to  know  the  truth 
is  to  be  freed  from  their  grasp.  There  is  no 
truth  in  sin ;  that  is,  there  is  no  truth,  hence  no 
reality,  in  the  sinful  thought  that  prompts  a  sin- 
ful action ;  and  that  which  is  unreal  is  false  and 


16  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

is  therefore  nothing.  Sin,  however,  is  a  mis- 
taken belief  that  must  be  destroyed  through 
suffering  or  Science.  The  grand  lesson  that  all 
must  sooner  or  later  learn  is  that  all  must  come 
to  Truth.  The  hard  road  is  by  the  way  of  suf- 
fering and  experience;  the  easier  way  is 
through  searching  and  acceptance. 

God  is  omnipotent,  for  God  is  Truth,  and 
Truth  must  overcome  all  evil.  No  one  may  es- 
cape the  penalty  due  for  sin ;  each  must  pay  the 
uttermost  farthing,  be  he  so-called  saint  or  sin- 
ner. Every  one  must  suffer  until  his  belief  in 
evil  is  destroyed;  and,  through  choice,  he  de- 
sires to  be  led  by  unchanging  Truth  and  unself- 
ish Love.  "God  is  not  mocked :  for  whatsoever 
a  man  soweth,  that  shall  he  also  reap."  Evil 
brings  it's  own  reward.  If  you  sow  to  the  flesh, 
you  "shall  of  the  flesh  reap  corruption." 

Disease  is  discord,  the  seeming  absence  of 
ease,  that  comes  of  sowing  to  the  flesh ;  it  is  a 
ghost,  a  phantom  thought  that  comes  flitting 
along,  and  in  the  fertile  soil  of  fear  begotten  of 
ignorance  the  discordant  seed  takes  root.  In- 
stead of  turning  upon  it  and  correcting  it  in  em- 
bryo, we  fear  it  until  it  grows  to  be  a  monster. 
We  think  it  real  and  let  it  grow,  when  all  we 
need  to  do  is  to  turn  and  face  the  ghost  with 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  17 

;he  flaming  sword  of  Truth,  and  soon  it  will 
shrink  to  nothingness  and  be  lost  in  its  native 
lowhere. 

PATHOLOGY  AND   MEDICINE 

Pathology  is  another  theory  like  the  old  one 
>f  the  earth  and  its  foundations.  The  earth 
vas  supposed  to  stand  upon  a  pedestal,  and  that 
ipon  something  else,  and  that  upon  something 
ilse,  and  they  never  found  the  ultimate  some- 
thing else.  Now  pathology  always  flies  from 
;his  cause  to  that  cause,  and  from  that  cause  to 
he  other  cause,  but  it  never  finds  the  primal  or 
iltimate  cause  of  any  disease.  Finite  sense  be- 
gins with  the  appearance,  the  evidence  of  the 
•enses,  and  tries  to  reach  a  fundamental  prin- 
dple.  Evolution  has  reached  to  protoplasm, 
^athology  has  gone  as  far  as  bacteria ;  but  it  is 
till  an  open  question  which  was  first,  the  dis- 
use or  the  germ,  whether  the  germ  caused  the 
lisease  or  the  disease  produced  the  germ.  This 
[uestion  can  be  answered  only  as  it  is  answered 
n  Christian  Science,  which  proves  conclusively 
hat  neither  the  disease  nor  the  germ  is  true; 
>oth  are  false.  And  since  the  premise  is  false, 
he  conclusion  must  also  be  false.  From  noth- 
ng  it  came,  and  to  nothing  it  must  return. 


18  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

And  medical  science  must  follow  in  the  wake 
of  pathology ;  for  since  disease  is  nothing,  there 
can  be  no  medicine  for  it,  except  the  medicine 
of  Truth  which  proves  the  nothingness  of  dis- 
ease. Matter  has  no  intelligence.  Drugs  can- 
not direct  themselves;  they  cannot  say,  I  will 
go  to  the  lungs,  or  I  will  work  upon  the  blood  or 
upon  the  nerves,  or  upon  the  glandular  tissue. 
Drugs  have  no  intelligence  to  direct  themselves ; 
it  is  simply  your  faith,  and  the  faith  of  those 
around  you,  mixed  with  the  faith  of  all  man- 
kind, that  seems  to  make  them  work.  The  med- 
ical fraternity,  finding  drugs  a  failure  in  the 
healing  art,  has  turned  to  amputation  and  op- 
eration. It  has  amputated  almost  everything 
but  amputation,  and  operated  on  almost  every- 
thing but  operation.  Christian  Science  has 
come  to  the  world,  and  eventually  it  will  per- 
form every  needful  wonder.  For  the  Science  of 
Life,  from  its  very  nature,  must  overcome  all 
evil,  both  cause  and  eifect,  both  disease  and  its 
so-called  physical  cure. 

TRUE   LIFE   AND    HEALTH 

Physical  health  is  a  belief  of  health  in  the 
body,  and  is  a  failure;  therefore  it  is  a  poor 
kind  of  health.    Likewise,  physical  strength  is  a 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  19 

belief  of  strength  in  a  muscle,  and  is  overcome 
by  weakness ;  hence  physical  strength  is  weak- 
ness. In  like  manner,  mortal  or  finite  life  is  a 
belief  of  life  in  matter,  and  is  overcome  by 
death;  therefore  mortal  life  is  death.  From 
this  we  might  say  in  Bible  phraseology,  if  the 
life  that  is  in  you  be  death,  how  great  is  that 
death !  If  the  strength  that  is  in  you  be  weak- 
ness, how  great  is  that  weakness !  And  if  the 
health  that  is  in  you  be  a  failure,  how  great  is 
that  failure ! 

True  health  is  not  in  physical  man  or  ma- 
terial things ;  it  is  a  property  or  quality  of  the 
eternal  Life-principle,  and  is  as  unchangeable 
and  infallible  as  the  eternal  God  Himself.  And 
this  property  or  quality,  true  health,  must  be 
and  is  expressed  by  every  truly  living  thing. 
So  also  true  strength  is  not  so-called  physical 
strength,  which  overexerts  itself  and  gives  way 
to  weakness  and  therefore  is  weakness,  but  a 
property  or  quality  of  eternal  Truth;  hence  it 
knows  no  weakness.  Man's  true  strength  lies 
in  the  recognition  and  scientific  understanding 
that  God,  divine  Principle,  undying  Life,  un- 
changing Truth,  and  unselfish  Love,  is  and  must 
be  expressed,  and  the  true  man  and  the  true 
universe  must  be  like  Him,  unchangeable  and 
eternal. 


20  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

True  Life,  therefore,  is  not  life  in  the  body, 
but  the  forever  living  and  eternal  Life-principle 
that  is  God,  expressed  by  pure  spiritual  beings, 
who  know  no  death.  Like  the  great  Life-prin- 
ciple, they  always  were  and  always  will  be 
reflecting  perfect  and  unfailing  health  and  in- 
exhaustible strength.  Our  Master  says :  "Take 
no  thought  for  your  life,  what  ye  shall  eat,  or 
what  ye  shall  drink;  nor  yet  for  your  body, 
what  ye  shall  put  on."  "Consider  the  lilies  of 
the  field,  how  they  grow ;  they  toil  not,  neither 
do  they  spin :  and  yet  I  say  unto  you,  That  even 
Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed  like 
one  of  these." 

Turn  forever  away  from  sense  to  Soul,  from 
flesh  to  Spirit,  from  body  to  Mind,  and  find  in 
Soul,  in  Spirit,  in  Mind,  the  only  true  source  of 
life,  of  strength,  of  health,  and  of  happiness. 
It  is  a  self-evident  fact,  that  if  Mind  has  aught 
to  do  in  controlling  the  body,  it  has  all;  for  a 
"house  divided  against  itself  shall  not  stand." 
One  must  be  the  master. 

TRUE   MIND-HEALING 

Christian  Science  is  true  Mind-healing,  but 
what  is  commonly  called  mind-healing  may  be 
quite  different.     So-called  mind-healing  begins 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  21 

with  an  evil  man,  according  to  the  testimony  of 
the  senses,  and  tries  to  make  him  good;  it  be- 
gins with  a  sick  man  and  tries  to  make  him  well. 
Christian  Science,  reversing  this  procedure,  be- 
gins with  perfection  as  a  basis  of  every  thought 
and  action ;  it  begins  with  perfect  Principle,  or 
God,  and  perfect  man,  and  from  this .  scientific 
basis  demonstrates  perfection  at  every  step. 

History  repeats  itself.  Of  old,  the  messenger 
of  Truth  was  accused  of  casting  out  devils  by 
the  prince  of  devils.  Today,  Christian  Science 
is  accused  of  casting  out  error  with  error;  of 
healing  sickness  and  sin  by  mesmerism,  hypno- 
tism, mental  suggestion,  or  autosuggestion. 
The  world  of  mortal  mind,  or  finite  sense,  is  a 
seething  sea  of  animal  magnetism,  autosugges- 
tion, and  mental  suggestion.  All  mortals  from 
the  mortal  standpoint  are  mental  malprac- 
tioners. Consciously  or  unconsciously,  until 
corrected  by  the  knowledge  of  the  truth,  they 
are  living  in  the  belief  of  a  God-given  mind  in  a 
material  brain,  which  suppositional  mind  is  a 
mixture  of  good  and  evil,  of  right  and  wrong,  of 
love  and  hate.  But  Christian  Science  not  only 
heals  mankind  of  sickness  and  sin,  it  also  heals 
of  autosuggestion,  mental  suggestion,  hypno- 
tism, mesmerism,  animal  magnetism,  spiritual- 


22  CHRISTIAN   SCIENCE: 

ism,  and  some  other  isms.  For  Christian 
Science  is  the  Science  of  Truth  and  true  being, 
and  must  of  necessity  rule  out  all  that  is  unlike 
God,  the  absolute  and  only  good. 

Christian  Science  covers  the  whole  ground, 
and  solves  the  problem  of  being  physically,  mor- 
ally, financially,  temporarily,  and  eternally.  If 
Christian  Science  is  not  good  for  everything, 
then  Christian  Science  is  not  good  for  anything. 
And  if  Christian  Science  is  not  good  for  every 
one,  then  Christian  Science  is  not  good  for  any 
one. 

NEED  OF  DIVINE   PRINCIPLE 

All  sin,  all  disease,  all  discord  of  whatever 
sort,  is  perpetuated  by  trying  to  solve  the  prob- 
lem of  being,  without  or  independently  of 
divine  Principle,  or  by  trying  to  make  the  prin- 
ciple conformant  to  the  problem,  thus  necessi- 
tating as  many  principles  as  problems.  This 
process  finally  makes  discord  the  basis  of  being 
and  harmony  a  nonreality.  Here  we  see  the 
tower  of  Babel ;  which  is  trying  to  reach  health 
and  harmony  from  the  basis  of  disease  and  dis- 
cord, trying  to  build  a  medical  science  upon  an 
unscientific  basis,  and  trying  to  reach  immu- 
table Truth  from  the  foundation  of  appearance 
and  belief. 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  23 

God,  the  great  primal  Principle,  is,  and  must 
be  the  origin  of  all ;  then  if  disease  or  discord  is 
a  reality,  it  must  be  of  Him.  All  we  really  have, 
comes  from  Him;  if  He  sends  it  He  must  have 
it,  and  must  be  the  origin  of  it.  If  He  does  not 
send  it  but  permits  it  for  our  good,  and  He  is 
omnipotent,  then  He  virtually  does  it,  and 
makes  evil  necessary  that  good  may  come.  Such 
doctrine  is  too  absurd  for  this  enlightened  age. 

According  to  physics,  this  material  body 
which  is  called  man  is  75  per  cent  water.  If 
you  weigh  one  hundred  and  sixty  pounds,  one 
hundred  and  twenty  pounds  of  that  is  water, 
and  according  to  physiology  this  entire  body 
undergoes  complete  reconstruction  once  in 
three  to  seven  years.  The  water  that  largely 
constituted  your  physical  body  a  few  years  ago, 
has  floated  away  in  vapor  and  perchance  settled 
in  some  lakelet.  A  goose  drinks  it  and  then  it  is 
goose.  Has  that  water  any  more  intelligence 
when  it  says  it  is  man  than  when  it  says  it  is 
goose?  When  is  it  the  greater  goose,  when  it 
struts  itself  a  man  or  when  it  waddles  itself  a 
goose? 

Because  we  look  to  the  body  for  health  and 
strength  we  are  doomed  to  disappointment,  and 
this  for  the  simple  reason  that  these  qualities 


24  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

are  not  in  the  body.  Nothing  in  this  material 
universe  is  reliable, — even  mortal  or  finite  suc- 
cess is  a  failure, — and  this  because  it  is  finite. 
These  are  the  apostle  Paul's  words :  "While  we 
look  not  at  the  things  which  are  seen,  but  at  the 
things  which  are  not  seen :  for  the  things  which 
are  seen  are  temporal ;  but  the  things  which  are 
not  seen  are  eternal."  "He  that  soweth  to  his 
flesh  shall  of  the  flesh  reap  corruption ;  but  he 
that  soweth  to  the  Spirit  shall  of  the  Spirit  reap 
life  everlasting."  In  the  Revelation  of  John  we 
read :  "God  shall  wipe  away  all  tears  from  their 
eyes ;  and  there  shall  be  no  more  death,  neither 
sorrow,  nor  crying,  neither  shall  there  be  any 
more  pain:  for  the  former  things  are  passed 
away.  And  he  that  sat  upon  the  throne  said, 
Behold,  I  make  all  things  new." 

IRREFUTABLE   LOGIC 

You  will  agree  with  me  that  where  God  is, 
sin,  sickness,  sorrow,  pain,  and  death  can  never 
come.  You  will  further  agree  with  me  that  God 
is  omnipresent;  then  you  have  also  already 
agreed  with  me  in  this  third  statement,  namely, 
that  all  discord  and  all  mortality  is  a  nonreality. 
You  would  dishonor  God  and  do  violence  to 
mankind  by  admitting  these  things  as  realities 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  25 

in  His  presence.  You  must  either  reject  His 
perfection  and  omnipresence,  or  admit  the  un- 
reality of  all  discord  and  all  mortality.  You 
will  furthermore  agree  with  me  that  God  is  om- 
nipotent ;  that  He  is  omnipotence  itself ;  that  all 
power  is  vested  in  Him,  and  there  is  no  other 
power ;  that  He  rules,  and  He  alone.  Moreover, 
you  will  agree  that  He  does  not  will  and  is  not 
willing  that  any  should  perish.  Then  you  have 
also  already  agreed  with  me  in  this  third  state- 
ment, namely,  that  none  can  perish. 

For  if  God  is  omnipotent  and  does  not  will 
or  is  not  willing  that  any  should  perish,  then 
who,  I  ask,  shall  say  Him  nay?  The  alternative 
conclusion  must  be,  as  is  sometimes  taught,  that 
in  spite  of  infinite  Love  and  the  omniscience 
and  omnipotence  of  God,  the  devil  still  gets  ten 
thousand  into  endless  perdition  while  God  gets 
one  in  heaven.  We  may  at  least  pray  God  to 
forgive  the  blind  who  lead  and  give  sight  to  the 
blind  who  follow,  and  lead  them  to  the  light  of 
Truth  divine,  that  must  finally  overcome  all 
evil,  dispel  all  darkness,  and  vanquish  every  foe. 
Mortality  alone  must  die,  for  it  is  the  child  of 
the  devil,  who  "was  a  murderer  from  the  begin- 
ning, and  abode  not  in  the  truth,  because  there 
is  no  truth  in  him.,?    The  sooner  mortality  dies 


26  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

the  better;  but  we  must  not  be  "overcome  of 
evil,"  but  must  "overcome  evil  with  good ;"  we 
must  not  be  overcome  of  death,  but  must  over- 
come death  with  life. 

DISAPPEARANCE   OF   MORTALITY 

"The  last  enemy  that  shall  be  destroyed  is 
death."  We  must  separate  the  mortal  from  the 
immortal,  separate  the  flesh  from  the  Spirit, 
and  do  it  today,  not  after  death.  The  devil  says, 
Do  it  after  death.  God  says,  "Now  is  the  ac- 
cepted time."  And  why  does  God  say  now? 
Because  God  is  Truth,  and  in  Truth  there  is  no 
other  time ;  there  is  one  eternal  now.  And  why 
does  the  devil  say  after  death?  Because  there 
is  no  death:  all  is  Life.  Everything  that  the 
devil  makes  or  advises  is  just  like  himself— a 
lie  from  the  beginning.  All  that  really  is  can 
never  die ;  and  that  which  is  not  is  dead  already. 

Mortality  is  a  myth;  there  is  no  mortality. 
It  is  the  carnal  mind,  the  seeming,  that  depends 
upon  the  senses,  that  seems  to  make  man  mor- 
tal. God,  the  infinite  intelligence,  names  every- 
thing after  its  true,  perfect,  and  harmonious 
character,  while  the  Adam  or  false  sense  names 
everything  after  its  false,  material,  or  seeming 
character.    One  is  true,  the  other  is  false;  one 


PURE    METAPHYSICS  27 

is,  the  other  is  not,  but  only  seems  to  finite  sense 
to  be.  Jesus  proved  this  in  his  last  and  final 
demonstration. 

All  through  his  earth  life,  even  to  the  time 
when  he  showed  himself  to  doubting  Thomas, 
Jesus  presented  a  material  body;  he  ate  and 
drank  and  labored  and  wearied  and  wept  and 
joyed  like  any  of  us.  But  he  went  away  leav- 
ing not  a  chrysalis  behind,  and  we  know  that 
"flesh  and  blood  cannot  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God."  Jesus  said,  "Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  He  that  believeth  on  me,  the  works  that  I 
do  shall  he  do  also;  and  greater  works  than 
these  shall  he  do ;  because  I  go  unto  my  Father." 

He  overcame  death  with  Life;  he  overcame 
the  mortal  with  the  immortal ;  he  overcame  the 
flesh  with  the  spirit ;  he  overcame  the  false  with 
the  true.  He  was  not  overcome  of  evil,  but 
overcame  evil  with  good.  He  made  the  divine 
atonement,  or  at-one-ment,  with  the  Father. 
He  yielded  up  self  entirely,  and  would  have  no 
life  in  the  body,  but  in  Mind ;  hence  he  became 
one  with  the  Father.  And  he  said :  "I  and  my 
Father  are  one."  'The  flesh  profiteth  nothing." 
Your  true  self  is  the  spiritual  expression  of 
Spirit;  and  Spirit  is  God.  Hence  we  express 
Spirit,  not  matter. 


28  CHRISTIAN    SCIENCE: 

We  have  been  singing  the  praises  of  and 
praying  at  and  to  a  corporeal  Deity,  "as  though 
he  needed  any  thing,"  or  that  we  were  going  to 
get  something  by  asking  that  He  would  not  give 
if  we  did  not  ask.  God  is  unchangeable,  and  is 
giving  us  more  every  day  than  we  in  our  igno- 
rance know  how  to  ask  for,  or  even  how  to  ac- 
cept. The  simplest  prayer  is  the  heart's  sincere 
desire  to  know  the  truth ;  to  know  Him  "whom 
to  know  aright  is  Life  eternal"  (Science  and 
Health,  Preface,  p.  vii).  Desiring  Truth,  you 
will  search  for  Truth,  and  seeking,  you  shall 
find ;  and  an  ever-increasing  desire  for  more 
will  prove  your  appreciation  of  what  you  al- 
ready have.  Thus  you  will  fulfill  the  divine  in- 
junctions, "Pray  without  ceasing.  In  every- 
thing give  thanks." 

COMING   OF  DIVINE   THEOLOGY 

For  the  past  nineteen  hundred  years  theol- 
ogy, in  the  character  of  John  the  Baptist,  has 
been  preached  in  the  wilderness  of  mortal 
sense.  But  there  cometh  one  mightier  than  it, 
even  divine  Science,  the  Science  of  Christ, 
Truth,  understood  and  demonstrated,  the 
"latchet  of  whose  shoes"  the  old  theology  is 
"not  worthy  to  stoop  down  and  unloose."  When 


r

Howe  put  the  eye  of  the  needle  in  the  point,  in- 
stead of  the  larger  end,  he  revolutionized  the 
great  mercantile  world.  When  Galileo  said, 
"The  earth  moves  and  the  sun  stands  still,"  he 
revolutionized  all  theories  concerning  the  stel- 
lar universe.  And  when  Mrs.  Eddy  said,  "Mind 
can  never  be  in  man,  but  is  reflected  by  man" 
(Science  and  Health,  p.  336),  she  revolution- 
ized theology,  physiology,  and  medicine. 

Mary  of  old  gave  birth  to  the  pure-minded 
Jesus,  the  Christ  personified.  The  Mary  of  to- 
day has  given  birth  to  the  incorporeal  Christ- 
idea,  the  true  idea  of  God  and  man,  as  revealed 
in  Christian  Science. 

Do  you  recognize  this  coming, 

Do  you  know  the  trumpet  tone? 

Is  your  ear  attuned  to  hear  the  truth 

Whene'er  the  blast  is  blown? 

Do  you  see  the  consummation, 
That  the  mighty  work  is  done? 
That  death  and  hell  are  yielding  up 
And  the  dragon  is  cast  down? 

Yes,  "the  morning  light  is  breaking;"  the 
first  faint  gleams  of  ruddy  light  now  tint  the 
eastern  sky,  shedding  its  effulgent  rays  over  a 
benighted  world.  And  through  the  clouds  of 
mortal  sense  the  spirit  of  Truth,  descending 


30  CHRISTIAN   SCIENCE: 

like  shafts  of  light  shot  through  a  waste  of 
darkness  dense,  reveals  a  spiritual  world  and 
God  as  the  only  author,  architect,  and  builder. 

Yes,  the  fourth  watch  of  the  night  is  come; 
and  you  that  have  toiled  all  night  rowing 
against  the  adverse  winds  may  look  up  and  see 
Christ,  Truths  walking  o'er  the  waves  of  mortal 
sense.  Go  ye  out  to  meet  him,  for  he  comes  to 
still  the  tempest's  roar  and  calm  the  raging 
seas.  You  who  have  lain  long  years  at  the  pool 
of  Bethesda,  waiting  for  the  troubling  of  the 
waters,  may  now  cease  to  look  down,  may  look 
up  and  see  Christ,  waiting  to  make  you  whole. 
But  when  you  are  made  whole,  then  "sin  no 
more,  lest  a  worse  thing  come  unto  thee." 

And  you  who  have  seen  the  "star  in  the  east," 
the  spiritual  light  of  Truth  divine,  if  to  you  that 
light  be  strong,  then  go  and  tell  to  sinners 
round  what  a  dear  Saviour  you  have  found. 
But  if  that  light  be  faint,  then  follow  where  it 
leads,  till  it  comes  and  stands  over  where  the 
young  child  is.  And  when  you  have  found  him, 
open  your  treasure,  and  present  yourself  and  all 
that  is  within  you,  a  living  sacrifice  for  the 
truth  that  makes  you  free.

PURE   METAPHYSICS  31 

Eddy  has  truly  said  (p.  568)  :  "For  victory  over 
a  single  sin,  we  give  thanks  and  magnify  the 
Lord  of  Hosts.  What  shall  we  say  of  the 
mighty  conquest  over  all  sin?  A  louder  song, 
sweeter  than  has  ever  before  reached  high 
heaven,  now  rises  clearer  and  nearer  to  the 
great  heart  of  Christ;  for  the  accuser  is  not 
there,  and  Love  sends  forth  her  primal  and 
everlasting  strain."
